Alteration of photosynthesis related parameters of Chlamydomonas moewusii stressed by paraquat
(Research Trends, 2008)Paraquat toxic action on the freshwater microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii was determined by several physiological parameters. ATP content seems to be the most sensitive parameter analyzed; it was reduced by the lowest ... -
Assessment of cytotoxicity biomarkers on the microalga "Chlamydomonas reinhardtii" exposed to emerging and priority pollutants
(Elsevier, 2020-11-17)[Abstract] Contamination of aquatic ecosystems linked to anthropogenic activity is currently a major concern; therefore, ecotoxicological studies are needed to assess its effect on organisms. The main objective of this ... -
Cadmium removal by living cells of the marine microalgaTetraselmis suecica
(2002-09)[Abstract] Cadmium removal by living cells of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica was tested in cultures exposed to different cadmium concentrations (0.6, 3, 6, 15, 30 and 45 mg/l). The EC50 for growth was 7.9 mg Cd/l ... -
Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Cells Adjust the Metabolism to Maintain Viability in Response to Atrazine Stress
(Elsevier, 2015-05-19)[Abstract] Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells were exposed to a sublethal concentration of the widespread herbicide atrazine for 3 and 24 h. Physiological parameters related to cellular energy status, such as cellular ... -
Class III metallothioneins in response to cadmium toxicity in the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica (Kylin) Butch
(Wiley, 2001-09)Microalgae are one of the most important organisms in our ecosystems being seriously affected by metal pollution. However, the microalgae Tetraselmis suecica (Kylin) Butch is tolerant to cadmium; the concentration of this ... -
Comparison of the sensitivity of different toxicity test endpoints in a microalga exposed to the herbicide paraquat
(2009-02)[Abstract]The use of herbicides constitutes the principal method of weed control but the introduction of these compounds into the aquatic environment can provoke severe consequences for non-target organisms such as microalgae. ... -
Cytotoxicity of BP-3 and BP-4: Blockage of Extrusion Pumps, Oxidative Damage and Programmed Cell Death on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(Elsevier, 2022-09-07)[Abstract] The health concern associated with the dangers related to exposure to UV radiation has led to an increase in the use of sunscreens containing UV-filters that can reach aquatic environments and possibly affect ... -
Dunaliella salina as marine microalga highly tolerant to but a poor remover of cadmium
(2009-06)[Abstract]Cadmium tolerance and removal in the marine microalga Dunaliella salina were studied in cultures exposed to different metal concentrations (5–120 mg Cd l−1) for 96 h. This microalga can be included in the group ... -
Early alterations on photosynthesis-related parameters in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells exposed to atrazine: A multiple approach study
(Elsevier, 2016-06-01)Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells were exposed to a sublethal concentration of thewidespread herbicide atrazine for 3 h. Physiological cellular parameters, such as chlorophyll a fluorescence and oxidative stress monitored ... -
Effect of cadmium on growth, ATP content, carbon fixation and ultrastructure in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Bohlin
(Springer, 2000-01)Cadmium toxicity to the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin has been studied on the basis of the effect of this metal on growth, ATP content, 14C uptake and cellular ultrastructure. The microalga was exposed to 1, 5, ... -
Efficient Removal of Methylene Blue Using Living Biomass of the Microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii: Kinetics and Equilibrium Studies
(MDPI, 2022-02-24)[Abstract] The efficiency of the living biomass of the microalga Chlamydomonas moewusii in removing methylene blue dye is determined. The kinetics, equilibrium isotherms, and the effects on this process of the pH, contact ... -
Flow cytometric analysis to evaluate physiological alterations in herbicide-exposed Chlamydomonas moewusii cells
(Springer, 2012-03)Investigation of herbicide toxicology in non-target aquatic primary producers such as microalgae is of great importance from an ecological point of view. In order to study the toxicity of the widely used herbicide paraquat ... -
Flow cytometric assay to assess short-term effects of personal care products on the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica
(Elsevier, 2017)[Abstract] Large quantities of personal care products (PCPs) are used daily and many of their chemical ingredients are subsequently released into marine environments. Cultures of the marine microalga Tetraselmis suecica ... -
Long-chain class III metallothioneins as a mechanism of cadmium tolerance in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin
(1997-11)Cadmium tolerance of the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin was studied. P. tricornutum growth was significantly reduced by cadmium concentrations of 5 mg l−1 or higher. The EC50 value was 22.39 mg l−1 of cadmium ... -
Physiological response of freshwater microalga (Chlorella vulgaris) to triazine and phenylurea herbicides
(2002-09)[Abstract]The effects of two herbicides used wide-spread, isoproturon (phenylurea) and terbutryn (triazine), on growth, dry weight, elemental composition, photosynthetic pigments and protein content, and cell volume assayed ... -
Population growth study of the rotifer Brachionus sp. fed with triazine-exposed microalgae
(2007-08)[Abstract]Few data exist on potential toxic effects that pollutants may have on zooplankton fed microalgae exposed to pesticides. For that reason, microalgal cultures were exposed to different concentrations of the triazine ... -
